Esther Juxtaposition Of The Septuagint Translation With The Hebrew Text

This book is a very exacting comparison between the Septuaginta translation of the Esther Scroll and its Hebrew text. Each and every verse in the Scroll is graphically presented in a four-columned table in which the author inserted the Hebrew text (broken up into syntactically coherent short phrases), its Greek counterpart, and the English translations of the Hebrew and Greek phrases, respectively. In the running commentary, the author discusses the additions and the omissions, examines how the translator succeeded in rendering especially difficult and complicated Hebrew verses, and tries to throw light on the translator's language, methods and translational idiosyncrasies. Hebrew, English and Greek text.Kahana, Hanna is the author of 'Esther Juxtaposition Of The Septuagint Translation With The Hebrew Text', published 2005 under ISBN 9789042915800 and ISBN 9042915803.
